Our Funders

The Foundation for Child Development, established in 1899 in New York, is a national, private philanthropy. It is dedicated to promoting a new beginning for public education from pre-kindergarten through third grade.

The foundation promotes the well-being of children and believes that families, schools, nonprofit organizations, businesses and government at all levels share complementary responsibilities in the critical task of raising new generations.

FCD provided the lead grant establishing the Journalism Fellowships in Child and Family Policy program in 2000.
